re: How long has it been since your feelings were hurt?

Not since I embraced the fact that there's a much larger percentage of the population who are sociopaths than I originally thought. Also, there's an art to totally ignoring people and walking away from them - FOREVER. Over the last 10 years, I have distanced myself from people who for the longest time I considered to be a friend, but turned out to be nothing but "energy thieves".
